Coach Kenneth Bowthorpe, who succesfully led the team through its first Class A speech combat last year, opened the new season by admonishing forensic reteam members to always to teammain loyal your school, mates. officers, and coach. Already, dates have been set for debate tournaments, both within the class and with other schools. The class debate tournament began this week, helping prepare team members for the first clash with Springville High School on or a challenge? It depends on how you look at it. Tom Mitchell, a new senior this year, thinks it is a challenge. Tom has been blind since birth and has accepted the challenge of going to school where no special provisions are made for such students. This is his first experience in school other than the Utah School for the Blind in Ogden.

Mike Mitchell, Toms brother, showed him around the first few days, determining the best routes. In four days, Tom could have shown anyone around to his first four classes. Measuring distances by pace is not the best way to get around, not the best way at all, Tom stated. He gets where he needs to by feeling the distance and using landmarks like doors, corners on walls, and other people. New obstacles of studying necessary assignments out of textbooks soon popped up. He has had his books recorded on either tape or record. Widely published books like the Bible and such can be secured in Braille. He usually does his writing of assignments on a typewriter, but sometimes does it in Braille and then types it. Toms hardest class seems to be a toss-u- p between chorus and debate. Music in Braille is very complicated, and everybody who has been acquainted with it doesnt think much of it, commented Tom. Research for his debate class is very difficult because very little material is published in Braille. Tom says his memory is average, but others would rate it a little higher. He did say that it may be strong in one or two specific areas. To Tom, School isnt hard, it is fun because it is challenging.

Those students who were not even alive at that time cant know or even begin to contemplate a awe-inspiri- ng to see, .e ... $ This is Hiroshima, shortly after the devastating atomic attack. The photograph was taken by BY High teacher Connell Osborne as troops moved into Japan following end of war. great world city under total des- truction, Mr. Osborne observed as he remembered what he saw on that October day in 1945. Hiroshima, a city of over 300,000 before the bomb, was a mass of rubble. There were a few tree trunks with foliage completely stripped off. Buildings were demolished, with an occasional incongruous steel safe standing intact. The people, what were left of them, were dazed yet very industrious-building shacks with a type of green lumber on the outskirts of the rubble and ruin. They seemed to not really be aware of what had happened . . . like a boxer, counted out, but slowly regaining his Awareness, he observed. Truly, men have learned to use this awesome source po2r as'buta now of great destruction, it is mans responsibility to see to it that it becomes a source of peace, rather than war; a benefit rather than an eternal terror, he said. In summarizing his memories, Mr. Osborne posed the silent hope that If all men had only been able to have seen it, I dont think we would be worrying about whether or not the bomb would be used again. |
